Angularjs promise rejection chaining

Question

I need to create chained promises:

var deferred = $q.defer();
$timeout(function() {
    deferred.reject({result: \'errror\'});
}, 3000);
deferred.promise.the         


        

Answer 1

And what the reason why it is done. In which case, the current behavior can be useful?

It can be useful when in errorHandler you could try to repair error state and resolve promise somehow.

var retriesCount = 0;

function doWork()
{
    return $http.post('url')
        .then(function(response){
            // check success-property of returned data
            if(response.data.success)
                // just unwrap data from response, may be do some other manipulations
                return response.data;
            else
                // reject with error
                return $q.reject('some error occured');
        })
        .catch(function(reason){
            if(retriesCount++ < 3)
                // some error, let me try to recover myself once again
                return doWork();
            else
                // mission failed... finally reject
                return $q.reject(reason);
        });
}


doWork().then(console.log, console.error);
